We are dedicated to building sustainability on our campus and in the greater community through conservation practices ranging from energy initiatives to composting programs. We strive to build awareness about sustainability, and we challenge all students, faculty and staff members to do the same. By utilizing one of our recycling bins, assisting in one of our energy reduction programs, or choosing to take one of our free public transportation offerings to get to campus, we can make our environment a cleaner and more sustainable place to live, work and learn. The world won’t wait for you to get involved. Go green today.
The Office of Sustainability seeks eco-reps to help engage Towson students in environmental actions and activities. Eco-reps serve as liaisons between the student body and the Office of Sustainability at Towson and help our campus in the transformation towards an eco-conscious community.
